For years, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) was the only “liquid gold” for thinning hair. But in 2026, Ziva Wellness is leading the shift toward PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin). While the names sound similar, the biological technology behind them is worlds apart.
The “Rapid Fire” vs. The “Steady Stream”
The primary drawback of traditional PRP is that it releases its growth factors all at once—a “rapid fire” burst that the scalp can’t always absorb efficiently.
- The PRF Difference:PRF creates a natural Fibrin Matrix (a biological scaffold) that traps platelets and stem cells. Instead of a 10-minute burst, PRF releases growth factors slowly over 7 to 14 days.
100% Natural: No Additives, No Anticoagulants
In 2026, patients are more conscious about what enters their bodies.
- PRPrequires anticoagulants (like ACD) to keep the blood from clotting during the spin.
- PRFis spun at a lower speed without any This preserves white blood cells and stem cells, creating a 100% autologous “super-serum” that your body recognizes and utilizes instantly.
Better Results with Fewer Sessions
Because of the sustained release of growth factors, PRF stays “active” in your scalp longer. At Ziva Wellness, we’re seeing that patients often achieve better density with 3 sessions of PRF than they did with 6 sessions of traditional PRP.
